Accepted Answer

Police Fired Upon Fleeing 4WD Vehicle to Prevent Escape

Police successfully apprehended a suspect and seven immigrants after a pursuit in Tumpat, Kelantan, during which officers discharged their firearms. The incident unfolded when police detected a Nissan Navara 4WD vehicle being driven suspiciously by a 23-year-old local man near the Tumpat Health Clinic. When instructed to stop, the driver instead accelerated away, leading to a chase.
Shots Fired at Vehicle's Tyres

During the pursuit, the driver of the 4WD vehicle attempted to ram police officers and subsequently fled at high speed. In an effort to halt the vehicle and prevent further escape, police personnel fired two shots specifically targeting the rear tyres of the 4WD. This action was taken to disable the vehicle and bring the pursuit to an end.
Suspect Continued to Flee After Shots

Despite the shots fired at its tyres, the suspect did not immediately stop the vehicle. Instead, the driver continued to accelerate the 4WD towards a field near Sekolah Kebangsaan Morak. It was only after this continued flight that the vehicle eventually came to a halt, allowing for the apprehension of those inside.
Arrests and Seizure Made

Following the stop of the vehicle, the 23-year-old local driver, who has prior drug-related records, was arrested. He was detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012. In addition to the driver, seven immigrants were also apprehended; this group included four Indian nationals, two of whom were women, and three Myanmar men, who were detained under the Immigration Act 1959/63. A transparent packet containing a reddish pill, suspected to be drugs, was also seized during the operation.
